Winds this morning were at 30 mph, with gusts up to 36 mph. As a result, I stayed inside and ran on the treadmill. I'm not sure which choice is worse.... I loathe running on that thing, but I wasn't up for the wind either. I ran the first mile with at 6% incline, 2nd @ 7%, 3rd @ 8%, 4th @ 9% and final @ 10%. I was raining sweat, but that's normal for me and indoor running. I checked my heart rate a few times and it was generally between around 150, but up around 175-180 at the end. About 30 minutes after I finished, vision in my left eye went all sorts of haywire. It started out like when you look at a bright light and can't see what your directly looking at (ie, the sun, light bulb, flashlight). After about 15 minutes of that, everything went blurry (only in the left eye) and I couldn't focus on anything. It made driving to school.......interesting, and sitting through class.......unpleasant. 2 hours later, my vision has cleared and all I'm left with is a pounding headache. That's twice in 10 days that running has effected my vision. What gives? Rotterdam (55)
